Which type of lawn sprinkler do you recommend?

In our experience home improvement stores such as Menards has better quality lawn sprinklers and hoses. It pays to buy a well made sprinkler, not plastic. Then you need to decide if you want one you will move every half hour or so or one that "walks" along to water the yard itself or a built in style that is under ground. We use soaker hoses for watering our small bushes and just leave them in the house planter with the bushes turned on for a half hour to an hour a few times a week, depending on the heat and rain we receive. The lawn we use the rotating style or the type that moves back and forth over the same area until it is moved to a new spot. We found the longest lasting sprinkler is the old fashioned solid metal kind that has no moving parts but simply sprays until we move it.

Have a consult with a licenced landscape professional. Then you won't be wasting your money. I have soaker hoses in the beds and a sprinkler system only for the lawn. It is worth the money for at least the consult, as it is a one time fee for a long term solution. It all depends on what you have, how much of an area needs to be covered, your climate, etc.

First you need to decide on what features,you want.

Honestly, we just got a simple one off Amazon. :)

It made this depend on your property. There’s the circular sprinklers and then the ones that also water in 180° Flipping fashion. I

have found some of the metal sprinklers to be a little longer longer lasting than the plastic ones. The older brass ones from the thrift store actually have lasted the longest.

Hope you find the perfect solution.

Totally depends on how you are going to use it. But this basic one is a good all-purpose sprinkler: https://www.amazon.com/Melnor-65021-AMZ-Oscillator-Adjustment-QuickConnect/dp/B07P8B2T8N/ref=asc_df_B07P8B2T8N/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=344041227836&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11844516045665609459&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021713&hvtargid=pla-736674152774&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=67585364605&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=344041227836&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11844516045665609459&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021713&hvtargid=pla-736674152774
